Encyclopedia
José Casas Ruiz is a Mexican
professional wrestler (called a Luchador
in Spanish
) and trainer currently working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre
(CMLL) under the ring name
Negro Casas. He is the son of former wrestler, turned referee Pepe Casas and brother of professeional wrestlers El Felino
and Heavy Metal
. Casas has trained several wrestlers, including Mephisto
, Kazushige Nosawa
, T.J. Perkins
, Rocky Romero
, and Ricky Marvin
.
Casas has worked all over the world, making appearances for the World Wrestling Federation
(WWF) in the United States of America as well as touring with New Japan Pro Wrestling
(NJPW) in Japan for over a decade. In Mexico Casas has worked for CMLL since the 1990s but has also wrestled for the Universal Wrestling Association
(UWA), World Wrestling Association
(WWA) and International Wrestling Revolution Group
(IWRG). In 2008 Negro Casas joined with Mr. Niebla
and Heavy Metal to form the group La Peste Negra
(Spanish
for "the Black Plague), a group that would later be joined by El Felino.
and El Solitario
. Casas played football, soccer, volleyball and baseball while still in school and even started training in professional wrestling classes taught by his father and Raúl Reyes. José and his brothers, Erick
and El Felino
, often sat at ringside during their father's matches, pretending to be upset or cry whenever their father looked like he was getting beat up in the ring, a ploy that their father had taught them to help gain crowd sympathy.
and decided not work wear a mask. In 1980 Casas worked a low card match at a "Coliseo Naucalpan" against an equally young Fuerza Guerrera
, the match was so well liked by the audience that they threw money into the ring to show their preparations. Promoter Paco Alonso
even entered the ring and asked the crowd to show their appreciation for the match they just saw, earning both Negro Casas and Fuerza Guerrera a regular job with Empressa Mexicana de Lucha Libre
(EMLL). By 1984 Casas had begun working for Universal Wrestling Association
, winning the UWA World Lightweight Championship
from Black Terry on January 1, 1984. Casas held the championship for 301 days before losing it to El Hijo del Santo
. The loss to El Hijo del Santo was part of a long running, very intense storyline
between Casas and Hijo del Santo that drew favorable reviews and helped establish both wrestlers as future main eventers. The storyline included Hijo del Santo forcing Negro Casas to be shaved bald after losing a Luchas de Apuestas, or bet match.
In the late 1980s Negro Casas began working for the Mexican based World Wrestling Association
(WWA) where he became the first man to hold the WWA Welterweight Championship
, holding it from sometime in 1987 until he was defeated by Tornado Negro on April 14, 1989. Casas regained the title, but only held it briefly before losing again as he was leaving the WWA. Casas returned to the UWA in 1990 and on January 29, 1991 he won the UWA World Middleweight Championship
from Super Astro. Casas held the title for 787 days, finally losing it to Último Dragón.
(NJPW). On December 1, 1995 Negro Casas defeated longtime rival Hijo del Santo in the finals of a tournament to crown a new NWA World Welterweight Championship
. Casas held the title for over 200 days, rarely defending until he participated in a tournament to unify 8 lightweight titles in NJPW's J-Crown
tournament. Casas put the Welterweight title on the line but lost to Shinjiro Otani in the first round. Casas and El Hijo del Santo resumed their feud in 1997, culminating in another Lucha de Apuestas between the two. Negro Casas once again ended up on the losing side, losing two falls to one in the main event of CMLL's 63rd Anniversary show. Negro Casas would later state that El Hijo del Santo was one of his favorite rivals and good friends backstage. Following the Apuesta loss Negro Casas and El Hijo del Santo began teaming together in 1998 and in early 1999 the team defeated Bestia Salvaje
and Scorpio, Jr.
by disqualification, but refused to accept the CMLL World Tag Team Championship
as they did not win by pinfall. After the refusal the title the two teams faced a few weeks later and this time Casas and Hijo del Santo won by pinfall to claim the title. The team reigned for over 400 days, until El Hijo del Santo left CMLL; forcing Negro Casas to vacate the title. When El Hijo del Santo returned in 2001 the duo picked up where they left off by defeating Último Guerrero
and Rey Bucanero
to win the tag team championship once again. After 210 days and several title defenses Guerrero and Bucanero finally regained the titles, ending the third and final reign of the Casas/Hijo del Santo team. Following the loss of the tag team titles Negro Casas began focusing on his singles career once again, winning the CMLL World Middleweight Championship
from Emilio Charles, Jr.
on April 26, 2004. On August 28, 2005 Negro Casas became a double champion when he won the IWRG Intercontinental Trios Championship
, teaming with his brothers El Felino and Heavy Metal to defeat Black Tiger III, Pentagon Black and El Pantera
to win the title. The trios title reign lasted 129 days, ended by the team of Cerebro Negro, El Veneno and Scorpio, Jr. In 2006 Negro Casas was teamed up with CMLL's rising star Místico
, working together in a style very similar to Casas and Hijo del Santo. The two defeated Averno and Mephisto
to win the CMLL Tag Team Championship, Casas' fourth and Místico's first, on April 14, 2006. On September 17, 2006 Negro Casas' 874 days reign ended at the hands of Averno. Casas and Místico lost the tag team titles to Último Guerrero and Dr. Wagner, Jr. on July 13, 2007 but quickly regained them a week later. The team of Último Guerrero and Atlantis
finally dethroned the duo, keeping them away from the title in subsequent rematches. On November 11, 2007 Negro Casas won the IWRG Intercontinental Middleweight Championship
by defeating Villaño III
in the finals of a tournament to find a new champion. Casas has not lost the title, but since CMLL and IWRG stopped working together in 2008 he is no longer promoted as the champion with the title technically being inactive.
returned to CMLL, forming a group a group with Negro Casas and Heavy Metal called La Peste Negra
(Spanish for "the Black Plague), a Rudo group that had a more comical approach to wrestling. The trio started wearing large afro wigs, painting their faces black and dancing during their entrances and generally worked a less serious style of match than was unusual, especially for a serious wrestler like Negro Casas. On September 2, 2008 the last Casas brother, El Felino
turned Rudo as well and joined La Peste Negra. After Felino joined the group Heavy Metal was quietly phased out as he was not comfortable working the comedic style. Felino's wife Princesa Blanca joined the group in early 2009, turning Rudo to work with La Pestra, the turn led to Princesa Blanca winning the Mexican National Women's Championship
from Marcela
on January 30, 2009. La Pesta Negra's biggest triumph to date is Negro Casas' title win over Místico that brought the CMLL World Welterweight Championship
into the group. After the title win, La Peste Negra continued their feud with Místico and his various allies. The feud led to Místico and Negro Casas facing off in a Lucha de Apuesta on the CMLL 76th Anniversary Show
, where Casas lost two falls to one and had his hair shaved off. After the match Místico challenged El Felino, Casas' cornerman, to an Apuesta some time in the future.
Negro Casas is close to celebrating his 30th anniversary as a wrestler with no plans on retiring, having avoided serious injuries during his career. Negro Casas is still considered one of the main eventers of CMLL. On January 29, 2010 Negro Casas teamed up with La Máscara
to participate in CMLL's "Torneo Nacional de Pareja Increíbles" ("National Amazing Pairs tournament"), a tournament where CMLL teams up a Tecnico (La Máscara) and a Rudo (Casas) for a tournament. The two defeated El Texano, Jr.
and Rouge in the opening round, El Sagrado
and Shocker in the second round and Héctor Garza and Toscano
in the semi-final to earn a spot in the final of the tournament. On February 5, 2010 Casas and La Máscara lost to Máscara Dorada
and Atlantis
in the finals. On February 14, 2010 Casas defeated Hijo del Fantasma
to win the CMLL World Middleweight Championship for the second time. During most of April and into May Negro Casas tourned with New Japan Pro Wrestling
(NJPW) in Japan. On May 3, 2010 Casas lost the CMLL World Middleweight title to Jushin Liger
during NJPW's Wrestling Dontaku 2010 show. On October 15, 2010, Charly Manson
defeated Negro Casas in a Lucha de Apuesta to take his hair.
Princessa Blanca. Casas' wife is the daughter of a Panama

, Arturo Beristain
and Franco Colombo. One of Casas' daughters is married to professional wrestler Diamante who works for CMLL. Casas also has two nephews who work as Kid Tiger and Puma King

Casas' father first took him to a wrestling show when Casas was five years old, bringing him to an event across the border in the United States.

Professional wrestling career
Casas debut came in 1979 as a bit of a strange turn of events. José Casas was in an arena where his father was supposed to compete when the promoter told Casas that his father had not shown and that he needed the young Casas to fill in for him or he would have Pepe Casas banned from wrestling. Casas wrestled and won his first match, wearing street clothes only to discover Pepe Casas and Raúl Reyes waiting in the dressingroom. The two had played a joke on Casas to see how he handled himself in the ring. Casas chose the name "Negro Casas" ("Black Casas") as his ring nameRing name
